Statement Resort 2016 Fausto Puglisi Pink Mini Dress w Silver Metal Medallions

The twin of the dress was look 21 for the Resort 2016 collection by Fausto Puglisi. Its twin was also worn by Jennifer Lopez that year. Fausto's first collection debuted in 2006 and Italian fashion editor Anna Dello Russo started to wear his pieces everywhere and is largely responsible for bringing his work to the spotlight. His style during this time period has been called Greco-Roman glitz which to me is the perfect way to describe pieces like this. This dress is fantastic and you can see how amazing it is on the body on the reference photos that we found.

The dress is absolutely gorgeous and very sexy. It is made out of a pastel pink silk that is a touch more pastel in person than the photos taken here. I love that the colour balances out the sexiness of all the open cut outs. Straps curve up and over the shoulders to meet the low back. Two triangles of silk cover the breasts and these attach to the high set skirt at their base. A wide strap wraps around to the back and this attaches to the back of the skirt. This created a small opening between the triangles at the front of the waist and two large cut outs that dip down to expose each hip at the sides. The skirt falls below that in a little A-line. His signature metal medallions sit at the base of each strap at the front, two more are where the triangles connect into the skirt, and then there is one large one at the centre front. The entire dress is lined in a black silk so you get a bit of a glimpse if it depending on how you move. I love the contrast of that. That dress is beautifully made. Excellent condition
